Product Description

BETTER WATCH OUT... BETTER NOT CRY... OR YOU MAY DIE!

When little Harry sees his Dad in a Santa Claus outfit, groping his mother one Christmas Eve, life changes for the quiet little boy. Thirty odd years later, you d better watch out in this 80s horror classic from the small but perfectly formed micro-genre of Yuletide Slashers.

Because now - all grown up and disgruntled by his dead end job in a depressing toy factory - he s making a list, checking it twice and descending into a self-created Christmas nightmare where he is Father Christmas and his judgement is final! Dressed as St. Nick, Harry is going to show his bullying co-workers and all the other naughty people what the true spirit of the season is... Run for your miserable lives, the vengeance is going to be swift and bloody!

In your hands is a true dark Christmas oddity that cult movie kingpin John Waters described as "greatest Christmas movie ever made."

Nothing of much interest happens for about an hour. This basically is saying that anyone who does not like slow films or only likes the CGI rubbish of the past decade, to stay well away.

I'm old school and love this stuff, because Christmas Evil attempts to have actors in its movie, actual charcaters remember those days, when Hollywood would actually cast someone?

There isn't much gore, but like I've said this is a good film, a good character delevlopment that studies someone going slightly insane over the festive period.

Well worth a purchase, for some true horror fans.

Another wild release from the crazy people at TROMAVILLE and this film is not too bad but kind of a dissapointment.Harry loves christmas, he dresses up in a santa outfit, rides around in an open slay and delivers presents but as a young boy he saw his dad pretending to be santa claus and when his dad thought he had gone to bed, Harry's dad started feeling his mom up.Harry was watching and never forgot that night but now he is strange,deluded and wants to be santa a little too much.Harry seeks revenge on the people who don't belive in christmas and who have been naughty. If you are expecting tons of gore then i am sorry to inform you but theres hardly any but an axe to the head which isn't much. All in all this film is ok to add to your TROMA collection and includes a few juicy features such as commentary, interviews etc.

This is a unique film, with a cutting view of society from the outside looking in. Who is good , who is bad? Its left up to the viewer in the end.
I would say the director understands what its like to be an outsider, and wanting to change things for the better, but in Santa's case in this film, by any means necessary, ultimately resulting in several deaths by spikey toys and Christmas decorations! Its not really a horror, its more like a psychological study of a character a la Scorcese's Taxi Driver. At least that's how it feels to me, people may scoff!

I didn't really rate this one very much. A traumatised youth grows up to be a mentally disturbed santa attired murderer. Nice premise but executed really poorly in comparison to the infinately more superior 'Silent Night, Deadly Night'
It was difficult to understand exactly why this fellow was so traumatised by his mother having her leg caressed by his father (think it was his father) who was dressed in the standard Father Christmas outfit. Anyway quite a drawn out 50 minutes followed until said chap went a bit peculiar, drove around for a while delivering presents getting into the odd scrape and killing a few unhappy revellers in woefully presented fashion.
Lots of kitch value if that's your thing; awful transfer on this version which doesn't detract from a film for me but is worth a mention. Overall little gore, confusing story and largely uneventful!

Christmas evil (aka, you better watch out) is a cult classic 80's horror , excellent story that's very depressing and disturbing as we follow the messed up life of a man who takes Christmas a bit too serious due to messed up issues in his family when he was a boy, the lead actor is brilliant and makes it fun to watch, there is not much in the way of gore but the movie is very stylish and well directed and keeps a good creepy vibe and is well paced up until the very surreal ending! If you love the exploitation genre and cheesy slashers of the 80's then this is a must. Brilliant features on this arrow version too as usual for the price!

A toy factory worker is obsessed with Christmas and thinks he is Santa Clause, on Christmas eve he dresses as Santa and delivers presents to those he deems nice, but to those he thinks naughty...you better watch out.

Lewis Jackson's fun, but very dark Christmas horror is quite different. Not quite a slasher more of a psychological horror story and an interesting one at that, Brandon Maggart plays the "crazed" Santa with a lot quality, it would've been easy to over do it and make it ridiculous but finds a very good balance and is very credible, the rest of the cast also do a good solid job in particular Jeffrey DeMunn as his brother. The story is clearly very far-fetched but enjoyably so, it is a dark story but it does have some dark yet amusing humour (the final scene is a hoot). The movie looks great and far outweighs its low budget expectations, sets and effects are good as is the make-up. The films biggest problem is the pace, for the first 50mins very little of importance happens, dare I say it becomes a little tedious with all the set up for the final 30-35mins, but when it does liven up its a great fast paced horror with some exciting sequences.

A very good slow burning horror, but with todays gore filled, lightening quick shots & vapid empty characters it may struggle to gain contemporary audiences which is a shame, stick with it and it does pay off. Somehow this non graphic/bloody picture was branded as being extreme enough to be seized as a section 3 nasty...ladies & gentleman the UK police.
